STRIKE
NYSE: …
TICKER=CIK. Use this when STRIKE can't find a ticker in SEC EDGAR
(e.g. share-class tickers like BRK.B or recently renamed companies).
CIKs are always 10 digits — look them up at
SEC EDGAR company search.
These overrides take priority over the SEC ticker map.
TICKER=APPLICANT NAME, for FDA Orange Book
patent-cliff tracking. The Orange Book carries no ticker or CIK — only a free-text applicant
name — and one company often files under many (Bristol Myers Squibb appears under 4+ variants,
including subsidiaries like APOTHECON INC DIV BRISTOL MYERS SQUIBB). A short list of
major names is built in; add anything it misses here rather than letting a fuzzy match
mis-attribute one company's patent expirations to another. Same idea as CIK Overrides above.
fetchPatentAssignments) to search USPTO's
Patent File Wrapper API and look up each application's assignment/ownership-transfer history.

TICKER=APPLICANT NAME, for the USPTO Patent
Assignment feed — same idea as CIK Overrides and Pharma Applicant Overrides above. USPTO's own
applicant-name field is free text with no ticker or CIK, and one company can file under several
legal-entity name variants. The built-in seed list has NOT been checked against a live query
(this app never obtained a working test key) — verify it against real results and add
corrections here as needed.
